The Bayh-Dole Act in U.S. and other legislations in many countries across the world have encouraged universities to patent their inventions. The activity of patenting the inventions by the universities over the years has steeply increased, especially in the emerging branches of the science. Due to the increase in patenting activity the relationship between industry and university research has gained momentum with regard to investments, commodification and commercialization of the academic patents. Patenting of academic research has led to the growth of competition among the universities and also the development of patent databases. Academic patents are considered as an important source of revenue generation to the universities. The concept has triggered the increase in patenting activities such as inflow of funds for research projects of university. The patenting of university research is a challenging task and there are several legal issues associated with it especially relating to patent ownership, transfer of technology, commercial exploitation, grant of license and protection of patents. This book consists of outstanding articles that explain the global aspects of academic patents. The articles emphasize on the various legal implications and challenges that are involved in the patenting of academic patents."
